One thing that I don't think we talked about enough in class Thursday is the way that Rescue Time could be used in a corporate setting. If I were running a corporation I would love Rescue Time. It could be installed in all of the office computers to track how my employees spend their time. No one would get away with playing solitaire or checking Facebook on company time. I would probably hire a set of employees whose job it would be to monitor the other employees Rescue Time accounts. I would also attempt to make it impossible for my employees to change the settings of their computers Rescue Time accounts. This way they couldn't cheat and make social networking a +2 productivity. Only the sites and programs required for use in the company would be labelled productive.
I do agree with what most of my classmates said about how Rescue Time is not very applicable to most college students depending on their workload and how they choose to study. For example, I have an online physics practice test to study today, but I'm going to print it out and take it to the library to do it. I often do this with online assignments making it hard to track a productivity percentage.
